Gary Goodridge was a world champion arm wrastler

That's right -- when he first started fighting in Pride, his martial arts style was listed as "arm wrestling"

Here's an interesting one:

Shane Carwin won his first 12 fights in a COMBINED time of less than 20 minutes -- this includes wins over Frank Mir and Gabriel Gonzaga. Only two fighters lasted more than 120 seconds against him (until Brock and JDS).

Can anyone best that bit of trvia?

Ian Garry is the first MMA fighter to take on wife name, among other things

GSP stands for Greased So Pretty.

Sakuraba used to smoke before fights.

In addition to being a pro arm wrestler, Gary Goodridge also submitted an opponent with ball squishes.

Sergei Pavlovich is kinda similar, last 9 fights were 1st round finishes (including himself). His first 7 fights were also over in under 8 minutes

 

[Skarsgard]

As far as I know and can find, Shinya Aoki pulled off the first gogoplata win in MMA in 2006

I was pretty shocked to see that beat Brad Imes' 2007 sub.

Cyborg is the only fighter (at least in modern MMA) to win titles in four major orgs: UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce, and Invicta. PFL potentially gives her five major titles, which is impressive AF.
